Newcastle Utd V Leeds Utd Match Thread - Llorente starts, Klich on the bench

[Ellandback1]

Llorente needs to start.

I am sick and fed up with Bielsa playing square pegs in round holes.

We probably lost 40 percent of our attacks by playing Ayling at centre back.

If our U23's are that good, give Cresswell a try

[Ellandback1]

BTW, whats the point in being top of the U23 league when we play as many senior players as development?

[Leeds1000]

We need to win this one for confidence, belief and whatever positive spin i can think of . Tough run of fixtures coming up after this game so lets get another 3pts in the piggy bank we may need cash them in later.

Hopefully we will now start to see what Llorente is really capable of at the back, Ayling back attacking down the right, Phillips dictating play from deep. The lads should be fresh and raring to go. I can't think of a better team to play to get the show back on the road.

Lets hope we'll all be in happy mode again come 8pm tonight

It’s on blo*dy BT and not SKY isn’t it

[The Fish]

You'll win this one. We haven't won in 10, have 1 goal in 8 games, 5 losses on the bounce. But throughout this awful run of results, the performances have been poor. If we'd had good and bad performances, but this run of results, there'd be something to hold onto.

We're too passive, play too deep, surrender possession cheaply, create no chances.

Bruce never had the fans to lose them, but when you watch the players' reaction to going behind and losing, it appears like he's lost the players too.

It'll be a comfortable 2-0 for you lot tonight.

Yes I'm afraid so Cat

Fortunately I have all sources, wasn't so necessary when I was attending all the games.

I'll send you a decent link mate

Get promoted. Club development.

MB is the only Prem manager who uses the U23s this way.

Thank you Fish I hope you are right

Tonight's squad 'revealed' apparently

[Scoobychief]

newcastle haven't won in ten games, so that's definite they will turn us over. last team we played think it was brighton who themselves hadn't won in ages and turned us over, tables could be turned tonight we could go into free fall, lets hope not.

That looks like all we have

Pretty much.
There's 20 names there so I guess Jenkins and Casey will be the two who don't make the bench?

[danhirons]

At the very least need to not lose tonight otherwise a losing run starts to set in

Be interesting to see how we play. We often come back good after a few poor results but I thought that after the Crawley game and we were honking against Brighton...

Need to create more chances again can't remember paddy having a clear cut chance in any of our recent games

[The Subhuman]

He got 2 or 3 at least v Brighton, imo.

Llorente apparently sidelined according to sky sports.. any truth in that?

Also hearing those mumblings too. Guess we'll know shortly.

Looks like Dallas is playing the Klich role...I don't like that at all.
